Thanks for that link!

Outstanding - thank you very much!

You don't happen to know the whereabouts of an inverted version (ie co-ords to grid)?

If not, I'll have a crack on producing one

Hang on, how do I make this tool invert?

Has someone made a mod to send true radio messages with long.lat. positions?

If not - the radio messages are only ear-candy. You won't find anything at the transmitted coordinates.

Aah - thank you for that. As it happens one of the signals containing a grid reference place the target somewhere in the Malvern Hills, so I was wondering what was going on

All the best

I believe there has been a misunderstanding here.

'GWX - English Nav Map & Grid Refs' converts the labels on the in-game chart from German to English, but only at certain zoom levels. It does not convert KM Grids to degrees.

More important: Those radio messages you receive with locations in degrees? They aren't real! Well, actually they are real - real messages from World War II, designed to give flavor to the game and make it feel like you're not alone in the war. Any messages you get from the game will always be in KM Grid locations.

[edit] I see that Mittelwaechter has already given the correct answer above.
